Industrial Exoskeleton Workshop

The Industrial Exoskeleton Workshop was March 9, 2018 at the Ohio Safety Congress & Expo

Overview of the current state of exoskeletons;

Live demonstrations of exoskeletons;

Discussion with researchers on the impact of exoskeletons on workers' bodies;

Sharing of real-world experiences from end users who have incorporated exoskeletons in industrial jobs.
